Question 1147842: Point lines on the directed line segment from A (2,3) to B(8,0) and partitions the segment in the ratio 2 to 1. What are the coordinates of point P? Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The x-distance between A and B is 6
The y-distance is 3
2/3 of 6 is 4, so the x- coordinate is 4 away from A and 2 from B. It will be 6.
2/3 of 3 is 2, so the y-coordinate is 2 away from A and will be 1.
It is (6,1)
